Phonos Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 5th guy came out kinda green so his brothers decided to put him out of his misery! http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/ChrisChriso/IMG_5178_zps0acc5ef2.jpg Jokes aside i needed a break form all the black red pattern so i decided to paint my first ork(not gonna a start a xenon army!) ! Was just a test figure since my experience with green skin tones is kind of limited. Planning to add a few to accommodate my Templars on display!

Firepower Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Lovely, but they aren't welcome here No, but seriously. They aren't. Power Armor and Imperial Guard on the BnC, only. In the mean time, as a reward for taking a bold step towards reaching out to shake hands with other species, please accept this congratulatory kerosene shower, and this lit match... By the way, what did you use to make the wall it's behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonos Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Honestly didn't know!Have no intention to post anymore filthy xenon ork experiments of mine.Please rethink burning me up Firepower! Was just studying orks to find better means of extermination!It is a resin base back2base-ix bought 2 years ago, don't think it is on their inventory anymore.

Brother Darklight Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Lovely, but they aren't welcome here No, but seriously. They aren't. Power Armor and Imperial Guard on the BnC, only. In the mean time, as a reward for taking a bold step towards reaching out to shake hands with other species, please accept this congratulatory kerosene shower, and this lit match... By the way, what did you use to make the wall it's behind? Well, let's look at this picture a bit closer. There's some Sword Brethren approaching to remove the greenskin from the the picture (and existence!) And those SB are Power Armoured! :P Seriously though I think this picture merely bends the rules, not breaks them. Just my opinion on that, though. Back on topic, brilliant work on these Sword Brethren so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonos Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 I really like your approach on this delicate matter Darklight and thank you for your comment on the SB! 5th guy is primed and ready for painting!hopefully by the end of the week the 5man squad will be ready! Planning on making it a 10man squad but that will take a while. More to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I very nearly put my modeling knife through my monitor when I saw that filthy xenos scum. Perhaps that's the reason for the rule. Still -- it's quite a nice, vibrant green, and should contrast nicely with a standard-issue targeting reticle. ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Nice job on the base, but you need to clean off the mushrooms. They'll stain your armor. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're alright man. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you were unaware of that little rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The proper way to apply green is to splatter it across the terrain, usually with a bolter or a chainsword, but a Crozius works pretty well too. As we can see the Combi-Plasma wielder is getting ready for just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonos Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Small update a bit of-topic . So still 5th guy still remains just primed. Instead i have been messing around with a stormtalon don't ask me why.. Done some weathering on it not sure about the result but still needs work more insignias details on lenses etc. Pics are from various stages of the painting process eg fisrt pic is with 1st level rust and wash on the engine still drying! Messed around with the base and managed to get a quite pleasing result (photo with the base primed). The base was done from sracth with reference to the resin base u can see in the photo. I've used some sort of polyurethane foam from a wing of a crashed rc!

Trignama Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Love the Talon so far, I got three of them I need to paint, and you are setting a good template here, good stuff man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Wish I had one or two of those to play with myself. I dunno why everyone seems to hate that kit (aside from the landing gear). What technique are you using to do the weathering (the browns in particular)? It looks very good in places, and yet very odd in others, like in the crevice lining through the front right wing.

Phonos Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 @Trignama Thank you sir! @Firepower Personaly i love the looks of the model that's the main reason i started painting it. First with a semi destroyed brust i do the basic chip damage using valejo chanmail silver. After i finish with the chips i add some detail on outlining them either with grey on blacks or my highlight red on reds. You can go a step further by addin some shadow to the chips by adding someblack on the inner outline. After the chips are done i add the rust. Using a mixture of red gore/bestial brown 50/50 extreemly diluted i go over chips and crevice lines etc. During this step and while the pain is still wet i add some flow to the rust with a small brush slightly guiding the paint on the panels to the direction i want. Final touches are with a mixture of the same paints but with different ration bestial bronw to red gore 80/20. With this mucture i go back and paint bolts screws and go over the already painted rust to add some highlights. Note that i use a small drybrush for this step. ; I agree with you,the crevice lining on the first photo was indeed overdone! It was during the first stages of weathering so it has been "erased" !

Phonos Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Been realy busy lately so progress is slow. 5 man squad is painted final touches with scripts still to be done + the bases. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/ChrisChriso/IMG_5327_edit_zps75346d93.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templar BlackAdder Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Very nice looking squad there. I like the All-Black look, makes them look like Sci-Fi Ninjas, with chainswords and plasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klof Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Nice painting! Really. One of the best I've seen so far here on forum. May I ask how did you get so "rich" and "deep" black, did you paint them or spray them (with airbrush or with can spray)? Or is it because of good camera with nice and expensive lens. In any case I like them. I like the blacks and how you've painted skin and whites. Thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Those are some of the best models I have seen ever. How did you get the black to look that way. Every time I try it looks like a filthy xenos has touched it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonos Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thank you for the flattering comments guys! Blacks where primed with citadel black primer with added touches of chaos black where needed then sprayed with semi glossy varnish (wish gives the a more shiny effect on black). There is no special lens involved just my iphone camera Probably the backround flatters them models as well. Progress has still been very very slow since irl keeps me away from my templars. Finaly finished my Stormtalon and got a second box of Sternguard for a full 10 man squad! http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/ChrisChriso/IMG_5446_zps64ec27ed.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Faster than my progress :D Good job on the Talon, but it doesn't count for anything unless you go "ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM! PEW PEW!" every time it deploys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotonic Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I like this a lot but out of all of them the one that sticks out to me is the very first Marine puffing his chest out like "HEY LOOK AT ME I HAVE NEW ARMOUR AND YOU DONT..." I mean grants I assume he is the new guy to the group recently promoted and no one is around so yeah I can see him strutting his stuff around like he is top dog... followed by another marine walking in the room and him playing it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
